巨噬细胞的分类及其调节性功能的差异

巨噬细胞在固有免疫和适应性免疫反应中具有重要的作用,它可将加工后的抗原提呈给相应的T细胞,活化后的T细胞通过细胞膜上的分子或分泌的细胞介素进一步活化巨噬细胞。此时的巨噬细胞吞噬杀伤能力大大加强,并释放各种活性物质,因此巨噬细胞是主要的炎性反应调节细胞。巨噬细胞可分为经典活化和选择性活化的巨噬细胞,其在炎性反应过程中分泌不同的细胞因子、趋化因子等,然后间接或直接地参与各种炎症性疾病的反应过程。该文介绍了不同型巨噬细胞在胰岛素抵抗、HIV感染和肿瘤等疾病中的调节功能。     

丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激活蛋白激酶(MK)研究进展

丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)信号通路介导多种重要的细胞生理反应.对下游蛋白激酶的磷酸化是MAPK家族成员发挥生理作用的重要方式.在MAPK的下游存在3个结构上相关的MAPK激活蛋白激酶(MAPKAPKorMK),即MK2,MK3和MK5.在被MAPK激活后,MK可将信号传递至细胞内不同靶标,从而在转录和翻译水平调节基因表达,调控细胞骨架和细胞周期,介导细胞迁移和胚胎发育.最近,在基因敲除研究的基础上,不同MK亚族成员之间的功能区分已经逐渐明晰,使我们对于MK的认识有了长足的进步.     

Caspase 的活化机制

Caspase是一类与凋亡密切相关的蛋白水解酶家族,以Caspase前体酶原的形式存在大多后生动物的细胞中。Caspase在凋亡信号的作用下首先激活启动型Caspase引发Caspase级联反应,然后通过活化的执行型Caspase裂解特异性底物导致细胞凋亡。Caspase的活化是导致细胞凋亡的中心环节,位于Caspase级联反应上游的启动型Caspase的和下游的执行型Caspase有着明显不同的活化机制。     

Na_2SO_3对不同状态CF_1－ATPase活力的促进作用

Ｎａ２ＳＯ３对ＣＦ１－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的促进作用与酶所处状态有关。ＣＦ０降低ＣＦ１对Ｎａ２ＳＯ３的亲和力和Ｎａ２ＳＯ３促进的最大反应速率。在Ｎａ２ＳＯ３作用下,膜上ＣＦ１－ＡＴＰａｓｅ的活化能高于游离的。膜上和游离ＣＦ１－ＡＴＰａｓｅ的γ亚基上二硫键的还原可以提高Ｎａ２ＳＯ３对酶活力的促进作用。Ｎａ２ＳＯ３对甲醇活化的ＣＦ１－ＡＴＰａｓｅ活力的促进作用只有在甲醇活化的亚适浓度下才能充分表现出来。Ｎａ２ＳＯ３对Ｍｇ２＋抑制的解除作用因ＣＦ１－ＡＴＰａｓｅ处于不同活化状态而不同。

Parthenogenetic activation of mouse oocytes by strontium chloride: a search for the best conditions

Strontium has been successfully used to induce activation of mouse oocytes in nuclear transfer and other experiments, but the optimum treatment conditions have not been studied systematically. When cumulus-free oocytes were treated with 10mM SrCl(2) for 0.5-5h, activation rates (88.4+/-4.1 to 91.2+/-2.7%) did not differ (mean+/-S.E.; P>0.2), but rate of blastulation (57.3+/-3.5%) and cell number per blastocyst (45.0+/-2.4) were the highest after treatment for 2.5h. When treated with 1-20mM SrCl(2) for 2.5h, the activation rate and cell number per blastocyst were higher (P<0.02) after 10mM SrCl(2) treatment than other treatments. The best activation and development were obtained with Ca(2+)-free Sr(2+) medium, but the activation rate was low (37.7+/-1.6%) in Ca(2+)-containing medium. Activation rates were the same, regardless of the presence or absence of cytochalasin B (CB) in the activating medium, but the blastulation rate was higher (P<0.001) in the presence of CB. Only 70% of the cumulus-enclosed oocytes were activated and 10% blastulated after a 10 min exposure to 1.6mM SrCl(2), and many lysed, with increased intensity of Sr(2+) treatment. The presence of CB in SrCl(2) medium markedly reduced lysis of cumulus-enclosed oocytes. Media M16 and CZB did not differ when used as activating media. Only 10.5% of the oocytes collected 13 h post hCG were activated by Sr(2+) treatment alone, with 34% blastulating, but rates of activation and blastulation increased (P<0.001) to 94 and 60%, respectively, when they were further treated with 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP). The total and ICM cell numbers were less (P<0.001) in parthenotes than in the in vivo fertilized embryos. In conclusion, the concentration and duration of SrCl(2) treatment and the presence or absence of CB in activating medium and cumulus cells had marked effects on mouse oocyte activation and development. To obtain the best activation and development, cumulus-free oocytes collected 18 h post hCG should be treated for 2.5h with 10mM SrCl(2) in Ca(2+)-free medium supplemented with 5 microg/mL of CB.     

不同因素对大鼠卵母细胞孤雌激活作用影响的研究

本实验比较了SrCl_2,放线菌酮(CHX),电刺激和乙醇等理化因素对SD大鼠卵母细胞激活的作用。结果表明,SrCl_2,CHX和电刺激均能有效激活SD大鼠卵母细胞,其最高激活率分别达到93.24％,91.89％和85.90％。8％乙醇对注射hCG 21小时后的卵母细胞激活率也达70％。SrCl_2在1.6和3.2mmol/L浓度,作用10—30分钟均有较好激活效果。电刺激强度在160V,80μs作用较佳。当SrCl_2与CHX联合作用时,激活率可有明显提高。但电刺激或乙醇与CHX的联合作用不能有效提高激活 率。本研究还比较了卵丘细胞的存在与否对激活的影响,发现卵丘-卵母细胞复合体中的卵母细胞不能被有效激活。刚离体的超排卵母细胞也不能被有效激活,须在体外培养一定时间后才能被激活。

Roscovitine in combination with calcium ionophore induces oocyte activation through reduction of M-phase promoting factor activity in mice

Summary The aim of the present study was to determine oocyte activation and change in M-phase promoting factor (MPF) activity induced by treatment with calcium ionophore and roscovitine in comparison with those induced by treatment with roscovitine alone and treatment with calcium ionophore and puromycin in mice. Freshly ovulated oocytes obtained from 6-8-week-old mice were divided into five groups (no activation treatment; 5 μM calcium ionophore A23187; 50 μM roscovitine; 5 μM calcium ionophore and 10 μg/ml puromycin; and 5 μM calcium ionophore and 50 μM roscovitine) and were incubated for 6 h. Oocyte activation, assessed by morphological changes, and changes in MPF activity in the five groups at 0, 2, 4 and 6 h of incubation were examined. Activated oocytes were defined as oocytes with at least one pronucleus. Oocytes treated with roscovitine alone were not activated during the 6-h incubation period. All of the oocytes in the calcium ionophore with puromycin group and in the calcium ionophore with roscovitine group were activated. The percentage activity of MPF in oocytes treated with roscovitine alone was decreased after 2 h and increased after 4 h of incubation. The percentage activity of MPF in oocytes treated with calcium ionophore and roscovitine was significantly decreased with suppression of MPF activity being maintained for 6 h, and this change was similar to that in oocytes treated with calcium ionophore and puromycin. Roscovitine with calcium ionophore is effective for induction of oocyte activation through suppression of MPF activity in mice.     

Activation and early parthenogenesis of bovine oocytes treated with ethanol and strontium

Efficient artificial activation is indispensable for the success of cloning programs. Strontium has been shown to effectively activate mouse oocytes for nuclear transfer procedures, however, there is limited information on its use for bovine oocytes. The present study had as objectives: (1). to assess the ability of strontium to induce activation and parthenogenetic development in bovine oocytes of different maturational ages in comparison with ethanol; and (2). to verify whether the combination of both treatments improves activation and parthenogenetic development rates. Bovine oocytes were in vitro matured for 24, 26, 28, and 30 h, and treated with ethanol (E, 7% for 5 min) or strontium chloride (S, 10mM SrCl(2) for 5h) alone or in combination: ethanol+strontium (ES) and strontium+ethanol (SE). Activated oocytes were cultured in vitro in synthetic oviductal fluid (SOF) medium and assessed for pronuclear formation (15-16 h), cleavage (46-48 h) and development to the blastocyst stage (D7). Treatment with ethanol and strontium promoted similar results regarding pronuclear formation (E, 20-66.7%; S, 26.7-53.3%; P>0.05) and cleavage (E, 12.8-40.6%; S, 16.1-41.9%; P>0.05), regardless of oocyte age. The actions of both strontium and ethanol were influenced by oocyte age: ethanol induced greater activation rates after 28 and 30 h of maturation (48.4 and 66.7% versus 20.0 and 23.3% for 24 and 26 h, respectively; P<0.05) and strontium after 30 h (53.3%) was superior to 24 and 26 h (26.7% for both). Blastocyst development rates were minimal in all treatments (0.0-6.3%; P>0.05), however, when the mean (+/-S.D.) cell number in blastocysts at the same maturational period was compared, strontium treatment was superior to ethanol for activation rates (82+/-5.7 and 89.5+/-7.8 versus 54 and 61, at 28 and 30 h, respectively). Improved results were obtained by combined treatments. The combination of ethanol and strontium resulted in similar pronuclear formation (ES, 36.7-83.9%; SE, 53.1-90.3%) and cleavage rates (ES, 31.3-81.3%; SE, 65.6-80.7%). Regarding embryo development, there was no difference (P>0.05) between treatments, and blastocysts were only obtained in treatment SE at 24 and 26 h (6.5% for both). It is concluded that, SrCl(2) induces activation and parthenogenetic development in bovine oocytes.     

Use of mouse oocytes to evaluate the ability of human sperm to activate oocytes after failure of activation by intracytoplasmic sperm injection

The objective of the present study was to investigate the nuclei of human sperms that failed to fertilize human oocytes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The sperms were injected into mouse oocytes by a piezo-micromanipulator, and some of these oocytes were artificially activated with strontium chloride (SrCl2) after ICSI. The oocytes were fixed, stained, and subjected to chromosomal analysis. The survival rate of mouse oocytes injected with infertile human sperms was 92.0% (46/50), while that of the control mouse oocytes injected with fertile human sperms was 73.6% (81/110). The rate of two pronuclei (2PN) formation was 0 (0/46) by the infertile sperms and 81.5% (66/81) by the fertile ones, a significant difference (p < 0.01). Sperm chromosomes in non-activated oocytes were present as premature chromosome condensation (PCC). Artificial activation after ICSI increased the 2PN formation rate in the infertile group to 90.3% (28/31). The results of the present study suggest that infertile sperms have a low potential to spontaneously activate oocytes and to form pronuclei. Thus, artificial activation after ICSI may rescue oocytes fertilized with infertile human sperms that do not produce 2PN. The present study proved the usefulness of mouse oocytes as specimens in evaluating the oocyte-activating capacity of objective human sperms prior to ICSI treatment.
